Verse 2
See her heavy make up and cut t-shirt
Every girl out wants to be her
But they look the same already why adjust
Reading the magazine secrets
Forgetting the topical regrets
If she comes home all alone the nights a bust
It’s a must the swivel in her hips
And the look she gives
It’s all her trust if only in the morning
She knew where she lived
CHORUS
C9 G
If he wants to rock he rocks

He can roll with the punches

From drink to drink and at the bar
With cash to blow
Am F G
From shot to shot it’s getting hot
Advance the plot to see how far
C-B/Am7
It’s gonna go
Am F G
All depends so ditch the friends
And grab a cab
C-B/Am7
Another chance for cheap romance
Am F G
Doesn’t count cause the room is spinning
Bm Bbm Am
Nothing to lose tonight they both are winning
C D
And they fall in love as they fall in bed
They sing
CHORUS
If they want to rock they rock
If they want to roll they roll
They can roll with the punches
Long as they feel like they’re in control
If they want to stay they stay
If they want to go they go
They don’t care how they get there
Long as they get somewhere they know oh no
ah na na na na na na na na na na na (till close)
Hello.
I was wandering what the person in the YouTube-movie plays when he starts the chorus over again. I have studied the movie, but I can’t see what he is playing.
Thanks for replies!

I was hoping that you guys could put up what the hammer-on’s between the chords are 🙂 I wanted to be able to play as close to the real-deal as possible and this would help so much (kinda hard when the video goes so fast!)
thanks so much!
Could you please tab the hammer-on’s? You can’t really see what you’re doing in the movie, especially when it goes so fast.
Hi
Also wondering what the hammer ons are, If you could just tell me what they are not nessecarily when to do them I should be able to sound it. That’d be great
Wondering the same thing on the hammer ons but I think I have it. they are all on the 5th and 4th strings. The B7 (x21202) hammer open 5th string hammer on 2nd fret then strum the 4th string open and strum the base note on the C chord on the 5th string 3rd fret. (x0xxxx, x2xxxxxx, xx0xxx, x3xxxx)
I think the G chord hammer on is simply 5th string open,2, open. This looks to be the same for the chorus and the verse.
I hope it helps. It sounds right to me so that is how I play it.
what are hammer ons?
Hi guys.
I think i got the hammer ons, and i see that there is a lot of people that don’t figure it out, so i’ll try help:

And then it goes on. I’m not sure if this is right, but it sounds almost the same 🙂
